Think Pink 2011 ~ Thursday ~

Thursday had everyone dancing to the Wonderful Music at The Sweet Escape for Rays of Hope's 3rd Annual Think Pink Week!  I've been taking a bunch of pictures at all the events , I think I'll save most for a final wrap up post to show off just what people did to Get In The Pink for Breast Cancer!

We started off Thursday night at 3pm with Lance Windlow!  He didn't just sing for us but he gave out some really good facts on Breast Cancer including, "23% of All Cancers , is Breast Cancer!"  Encouraging everyone to donate as much as they could and reminded that no linden amount is too small in the fight against cancer.  Loved the SL/lindens take on the Chuck Berry classic, "My Ding-A-Ling."  Cancer hits everyone and Lance sang "Tears In Heaven" to honor and remember 2 very social people to him.
Thank You Lance xo

Lance spread the message and sang for Breast Cancer Awareness

4pm we had DJ Walker Cobalt spinning the tunes for everyone!  He had a great mix working from country to rock with a splash of Elton John too.  Taking the opportunity to make sure we were having fun as he encouraged everyone to TP friends in and get them to join the fight.  Walker also tossed in some Great Halloween Tunes of "Honky Talk Halloween" and then "Haunted House," by Jumpin Gene Simmons and for Extra Fun ........ The Chicken Dance :)
Thank You Walker For Getting Your Pink On & Spinnin The Tunes !

To finish off Thursday Night for Think Pink Week we had the Lovely Melodee McDonnell at 5pm!  Take a look at how Fantastic she was in her Pink gown!  Getting past some minor technical difficulties (thank you SL) Melodee stated that not only was this a wonderful cause to promote Breast Cancer Awareness ..... it was also, "a good reason to wear Pink!"  Starting us off with, "You Had Me From Hello" and weaving her way through songs from Steven Chapman Curtis and Rodgers & Hammerstein, Melodee's voice was smooth as silk!  Hearing stories from the crowd on how cancer had affect them, she sang a special dedication to MrShyGuy for his mom who lost her battle in April,  "Somebody's Prayin For Me."
Thank You Melodee for a very special hour!
Melodee looks lovely in her pink gown !

Please be sure to check out Lance Windlow, DJ Walker Cobalt and Melodee McDonnell on the SL Events Calendar.  They are Amazing !!

Wednesday Night Was ....... WOW

Bones Writer started us off at 3pm with such an AMAZING smooth sound of all his original songs on the keyboard and guitar.  I'm in awe when I hear him play and like right now, it's hard to find the right words to describe his music because it's just Fantabulous!  He plays all the instruments, mixes everything in his own studio and creates his music.  Bones says that he just put a little something together and WOW!  Thank You Bones for performing for us !
